1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
Physical, mechanical and electrical information for use in the planning and design of an installation of the
GTN units into an aircraft is provided in this manual. It is not a substitute for an approved airframe-specific
maintenance manual, installation design drawing, or complete installation data package. Attempting to
install equipment by reference to this manual alone and without first planning or designing an installation
specific to your aircraft is not recommended. The content of this manual assumes use by competent and
qualified avionics engineering personnel and/or avionics installation specialists using standard aviation
maintenance practices in accordance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations and other relevant
accepted practices. See section 2 for additional information and other considerations.

NOTE
Except where specifically noted, references made to GTN will equally apply to the 
GTN 725 and GTN 750. All screen shots used in this document are current at the time of
publication. Screen shots are intended to provide visual reference only. All information
depicted in screen shots, including software file names, versions, and part numbers, is
subject to change and may not be up to date.

The GTN 7XX Series units are a family of 6.25" wide, 6.00" tall panel-mounted navigators, which use a
color display and touchscreen to provide an intuitive user interface.
The GTN 725 is a GPS/SBAS unit which may be approved for IFR en route, terminal, non-precision, and
precision approach operations. The GTN 725 meets the requirements of the TSOs specified in table 1-13.
A summary of system functions is located in table 1-17 and operating instructions are found in 
GTN 725/750 Pilot’s Guide.
The GTN 750 includes all the features of the GTN 725 and includes an airborne VHF communications
transceiver and airborne VOR/LOC and glideslope receivers. The GTN 750 meets the requirements of the
TSOs specified in table 1-13. A summary of system functions is located in table 1-17 and operating
instructions are found in GTN 725/750 Pilot’s Guide.

CAUTION
The GTN has a display that is coated with a special anti-reflective coating that is very
sensitive to waxes and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL
HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the display
using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-
reflective coatings.

CAUTION
The use of ground-based cellular telephones while aircraft are airborne is prohibited by
FCC rules. Due to potential interference with onboard systems, the use of ground-based
cell phones while the aircraft is on the ground is subject to FAA regulation 14 CFR §91.21.
FCC regulation 47 CFR §22.925 prohibits airborne operation of ground-based cellular
telephones installed in or carried aboard aircraft. Ground-based cellular telephones must
not be operated while aircraft are off the ground. When any aircraft leaves the ground, all
ground-based cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off. Ground-based
cell phones that are on, even in a monitoring state, can disrupt GPS/SBAS performance.

1.11 License Requirements (GTN 750 Only)
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, effective February 8, 1996, provides the FCC discretion to
eliminate radio station license requirements for aircraft and ships. GTN 750 installations must comply with
current transmitter licensing requirements. In the US, to find out the specific details on whether a particular
installation is exempt from licensing, please visit the FCC website http://wireless.fcc.gov/aviation. If an
aircraft license is required, make application for a license on FCC form 404, Application for Aircraft Radio
Station License. The FCC also has a fax-on-demand service to provide forms by fax. Outside the US,
contact the responsible telecommunication authority. The GTN 750 owner accepts all responsibility for
obtaining the proper licensing before using the transceiver. The maximum transmitting power, modulation
identification, and frequency band information may be required for licensing and are detailed in table 1-5.

CAUTION
The VHF transmitter in this equipment is guaranteed to meet Federal Communications
Commission acceptance over the operating temperature range. Modifications not
expressly approved by Garmin could invalidate the license and make it unlawful to
operate the equipment.

1.12 Certification
1.12.1 TSO/ETSO Authorization and Advisory Circular References
The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. It
is the responsibility of those installing this article either on or within a specific type or class of aircraft to
determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards. TSO articles must have
separate approval for installation in an aircraft. The article may be installed only in compliance with 
14 CFR part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements.
All GTN unit functions are design approved under the TSO. Unauthorized changes or modifications to any
GTN unit product may void the compliance to required regulations and authorization for continued
equipment usage.
GTN units provide a GPS position output for use with ADS-B output equipment. It is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure the ADS-B Out system is compliant with AC 20-165A and to ensure compatibility
between the GTN unit and the ADS-B Out equipment. Refer to 14 CFR 91.227 ADS-B Out Compatible
Equipment for compatible equipment shown to be eligible for 
14 CFR 91.227-compliant installations in accordance with AC 20-165A.
FIS-B information is to be used for pilot planning decisions and pilot near-term decisions focused on
avoiding areas of inclement weather that are beyond visual range or where poor visibility precludes visual
acquisition of inclement weather.
FIS-B weather and NAS status information may be used as follows.
 To promote pilot awareness of own ship location with respect to reported weather, including
hazardous meteorological conditions, NAS status indicators, and enhance pilot planning decisions
and pilot near-term decision-making
 To cue the pilot to communicate with the Air Traffic Control controller, Flight Service Station
specialist, operator dispatch, or airline operations control center for general and mission critical
meteorological information, NAS status conditions, or both
FIS-B information, including, weather information, NOTAMs, and TFR areas, are intended for the sole
purpose of assisting in long- and near-term planning decision making. The system lacks sufficient
resolution and updating capability necessary for aerial maneuvering associated with immediate decisions.
For European installations, ADS-B traffic targets can be displayed both in the air and on the ground in
accordance with TSO-C195a when the GTN 725/750 is interfaced to the GDL 88. Installer must determine
suitability of this function at the installation since ETSO-C195a certification is not achieved. SiriusXM
weather products may be displayed when interfaced to GDL69 in accordance with TSO-C157a. Installer
must determine suitability of this function at the installation since ETSO-C157a certification is not
achieved.

GARMIN GNSS (GPS/SBAS) NAVIGATION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
The flight crew must confirm at system initialization that the navigation database is current. Navigation
database is expected to be current for the duration of the flight. If the AIRAC cycle will change during
flight, the flight crew must ensure the accuracy of navigation data, including suitability of navigation
facilities used to define the routes and procedures for flight. If an amended chart affecting navigation data
is published for the procedure, the database must not be used to conduct the procedure. Databases must
only be updated on the ground and not during flight.
GPS/SBAS based IFR en route, oceanic, and terminal navigation is prohibited unless the flight crew
verifies and uses a valid, compatible, and current navigation database or verifies each waypoint for
accuracy by reference to current approved data.

190-01007-02 GTN 725/750 TSO Installation Manual


Rev. N Page 1-24
Discrepancies that invalidate a procedure must be reported to Garmin International. The affected
procedure is prohibited from being flown using data from the navigation database until a new navigation
database is installed in the aircraft and verified that the discrepancy has been corrected. Navigation
database discrepancies can be reported at flyGarmin.com then select “Aviation Data Error Report.” Flight
crew and operators can view navigation database alerts at flyGarmin.com then select “NavData Alerts.”
For flight planning purposes, in areas where SBAS coverage is not available, the flight crew must check
RAIM availability.
 Within the United States, RAIM availability can be determined using the Garmin WFDE
Prediction program, Garmin part number 006-A0154-05 (included in GTN trainer) software v3.00
or later approved version with Garmin approved antennas or the FAA’s en route and terminal
RAIM prediction website: www.raimprediction.net, or by contacting a Flight Service Station
 Within Europe, RAIM availability can be determined using the Garmin WFDE Prediction
program or Europe’s AUGER GPS RAIM Prediction Tool at http://augur.ecacnav.com/augur/app/
home
 For other areas, use the Garmin WFDE Prediction program
This RAIM availability requirement is not necessary if SBAS coverage is confirmed to be available along
the entire route of flight. The route planning and WFDE prediction program may be downloaded from
Garmin’s website at www.garmin.com. For information on using the WFDE Prediction Program, refer to
Garmin’s document, WFDE Prediction Program Instructions, P/N 190-00643-01.
For flight planning purposes, for operations within the U.S. National Airspace System on RNP and RNAV
procedures when SBAS signals are not available, the availability of GPS RAIM shall be confirmed for the
intended route of flight. In the event of a predicted continuous loss of RAIM of more than five minutes for
any part of the intended route of flight, the flight should be delayed, canceled, or rerouted on a track where
RAIM requirements can be met.
For flight planning purposes for operations within European B-RNAV/RNAV-5 and P-RNAV airspace, if
more than one satellite is scheduled to be out of service, then the availability of GPS RAIM shall be
confirmed for the intended flight (route and time). In the event of a predicted continuous loss of RAIM of
more than five minutes for any part of the intended flight, the flight should be delayed, canceled, or
rerouted on a track where RAIM requirements can be met.
Applicable to dual installations consisting of two Garmin GNSS units: For flight planning purposes, for
operations where the route requires Class II navigation the aircraft’s operator or flight crew must use the
Garmin WFDE Prediction program to demonstrate that there are no outages on the specified route that
would prevent the Garmin GNSS navigation system from providing GPS Class II navigation in oceanic
and remote areas of operation that requires RNP-10 or RNP-4 capability. If the Garmin WFDE Prediction
program indicates fault exclusion (FDE) will be unavailable for more than 34 minutes in accordance with
FAA Order 8400.12B for RNP-10 requirements, or 25 minutes in accordance with FAA Order 8400.33 for
RNP-4 requirements, then the operation must be rescheduled when FDE is available.
Applicable to dual installations consisting of two Garmin GNSS units: Both Garmin GPS navigation
receivers must be operating and providing GPS navigation guidance for operations requiring RNP-4
performance.

plan from the database in their entirety, rather than loading route waypoints from the database into the
flight plan individually. Selecting and inserting individual named fixes from the database is permitted,
provided all fixes along the published route to be flown are inserted. Manual entry of waypoints using
latitude/longitude or place/bearing is prohibited.
“GPS,” “or GPS,” and “RNAV (GPS)” instrument approaches using the Garmin navigation system are
prohibited unless the flight crew verifies and uses the current navigation database. GPS based instrument
approaches must be flown in accordance with an approved instrument approach procedure that is loaded
from the navigation database.
Not all published Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) are in the navigation database. Flight crews
planning on flying an RNAV instrument approach must ensure that the navigation database contains the
planned RNAV Instrument Approach Procedure and that approach procedure must be loaded from the
navigation database into the Garmin GNSS navigations system flight plan by its name.
IFR non-precision approach approval using the GPS/SBAS sensor is limited to published approaches
within the U.S. National Airspace System. Approaches to airports in other airspace are not approved unless
authorized by the appropriate governing authority.
The navigation equipment required to join and fly an instrument approach procedure is indicated by the
title of the procedure and notes on the IAP chart. Use of the Garmin GPS/SBAS receivers to provide
navigation guidance during the final approach segment of an ILS, LOC, LOC-BC, LDA, SDF, MLS or any
other type of approach not approved for “or GPS” navigation is prohibited.
Applicable to installations with GTN 750 Units: When using the Garmin VOR/LOC/GS receivers to fly
the final approach segment, VOR/LOC/GS navigation data must be selected and presented on the CDI of
the pilot flying the aircraft.
Navigation information is referenced to the WGS-84 reference system, and should only be used where the
Aeronautical Information Publication (including electronic data and aeronautical charts) conform to 
WGS-84 or equivalent.
Navigation is not authorized north of 89 degrees north latitude or south of 89 degrees south latitude with
software v6.00 or later.
1.12.7 Checklists
For installations seeking operational approval for checklists, the software is designed to DAL B and the
function supports a safety classification of MIN.

1.13 GTN Databases
The GTN utilizes various databases. With the exception of the Navigation, Basemap, SafeTaxi, and
Obstacle databases which reside internal to the GTN, all databases are stored in a single SD memory card
that is inserted into the vertical slot on the left side of the GTN. The following describes each database and
how the databases are updated.
Garmin requests that the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information.
These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain,
obstacles and fixes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the
ground. Go to flyGarmin.com and select “Aviation Data Error Report.”

NOTE
In multiple GTN unit installations with Charts enabled, the same version and type of
charts (FliteCharts or ChartView) must be used.

CAUTION
The databases on the Supplemental Data Card are locked to specific GTN installations.
The first time the Supplemental Data Card is inserted into a GTN it becomes “locked” to
that particular GTN and will not work in other installations.

1.13.1 Basemap Database


The Basemap database provides ground-based references such as roads and bodies of water. The database
is stored in the GTN internal memory. The Basemap database does not claim compliance with 
RTCA/DO-200A Standards for Processing Aeronautical Data. The Basemap database does not have a
scheduled update cycle and as such does not have an expiration date. The Basemap database is updated
very infrequently. Should this database need to be updated in the future, Garmin will provide details on
how to load the updated data into the GTN.
1.13.2 Navigation Database
The Jeppesen Navigation database provides the GTN with the required information for displaying flight
plan information.
The GTN utilizes a database stored on an SD memory data card for easy updating and replacement. The
navigation database may be updated by inserting an updated navigation database update card into the
vertical SD card slot on the left side of the GTN. The actual database is downloaded into the unit, so the
card can be removed after the update. Each card will only update one system. Alternately, the Navigation
database may be updated by copying the database to the Garmin-supplied Supplemental Data card. It will
be downloaded into the GTN on first use, and the file can be left on the Supplemental Data card until the
next update cycle.
The Navigation database on the GTN database card is generated from current Jeppesen Sanderson data.
Garmin International holds an FAA Type 2 Letter of Acceptance (LOA) in accordance with AC 20-153A

1.14 Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE)
The GTN, when installed as defined in this manual, complies with the requirements for GPS/SBAS
primary means of navigation in oceanic and remote airspace when used in conjunction with the provided
FDE prediction program.
The GTN includes internal Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) software which is active for all flight
phases including oceanic and remote operations, en route and terminal, and precision and non-precision
approaches. FDE does not require any pilot interaction. The FDE consists of two parts:
 The fault detection function detects a satellite failure that can affect navigation
 The exclusion function is the capability to exclude one or more failed satellites and prevent them
from affecting navigation
The FDE Prediction program is used to predict FDE availability. This program must be used prior to all
oceanic or remote area flights for all operators using the GTN as a primary means of navigation under 
FAR parts 91, 121, 125, and 135. The FDE program is part of the GTN Trainer, available for download

3.4 GDL 88 Installation Considerations
When a GDL 88 is installed with a GTN, altitude data can be forwarded from sources connected to the
GTN to the GDL 88. The GTN is also capable of forwarding parallel Gray code received from an altimeter
connected to a GTX transponder. All of these sources must meet the minimum performance requirements
of TSO-C10 or TSO-C106, or altitude digitizers/encoders must meet TSO-C88. (Reference AC 20-165A,
section 3-4(a)(1) and (2)).
If a compatible TAS system and the GDL 88 are installed in an aircraft, the compatible TAS system should
be directly connected to the GDL 88. The traffic data is then sent from the GDL 88 to the GTN over
HSDB. See the GDL 88 interconnect diagrams for more information on the connection.
For more information on configuration of the GDL 88 and systems connected to the GDL 88, refer to 
GDL 88 Installation Manual.

NOTE
GDL 88 system software v2.00 or 2.01 required for GTN software versions prior to v5.00.

NOTE
GDL 88 system software v2.05 or later required for GTN software v5.00 or later.

NOTE
GDL 88 system software v3.00 or later and GTN software v5.10 or later required for
rotorcraft-specific features.

3.5 Antenna Considerations
Location considerations for the antennas required for the GTN units are contained in this section. For
mounting the GPS/SBAS antenna, refer to FAA approved data. For mounting the COM and NAV
antennas, refer to the aircraft manufacturer’s data.
3.5.1 GPS Antenna Location
The GPS/SBAS antenna is a key element in the overall system performance and integrity for a GPS/SBAS
navigation system. The mounting location, geometry, and surroundings of the antenna can affect the
system performance and/or availability. The following guidance provides information to aid the installer in
ensuring that the most optimum location is selected for the installation of the GPS antenna. The installation
guidelines presented here meet the intent of AC 20-138C, chapter 12. The greater the variance from these
guidelines, the greater the chance of decreased availability. Approach procedures with vertical guidance
are the most sensitive to these effects. LNAV only approaches, terminal operations, and en route
operations may also be affected. Because meeting all of these installations guidelines may not be possible
on all aircraft, these guidelines are listed in order of importance to achieve optimum performance. Items 3
below are of equal importance and their significance may depend on the aircraft installation. The installer
should use their best judgment to balance the installation guidelines. Figure 3-1 shows the recommended
placement of antennas.
1. Mount the antenna as close to level as possible with respect to the normal cruise flight attitude of
the aircraft. If the normal flight attitude is not known, substitute the waterline, which is typically
referenced as level while performing a weight and balance check.
2. The GPS antenna should be mounted in a location to minimize the effects of airframe shadowing
during typical maneuvers. Typically mounting farther away from the tail section reduces signal
blockage seen by the GPS antenna.
3a. The GPS antenna should be mounted no closer than two feet from any VHF COM antenna or any
other antenna which may emit harmonic interference at the L1 frequency of 
1575.42 MHz. An aircraft EMC check (reference VHF COM interference check in Post
Installation Checkout procedures) can verify the degradation of GPS in the presence of
interference signals. If an EMC check reveals unacceptable interference, insert a GPS notch filter
in line with the offending VHF COM or the (re-radiating) ELT transmitter.

NOTE
When mounting a combination antenna (ex. GPS and COM, GPS and XM), the
recommended distance of two feet or more is not applicable to the distance between the
antenna elements provided the combination antenna is TSO authorized and has been
tested to meet Garmin’s minimum performance standards.
3b. The GPS antenna should be mounted no closer than two feet from any antennas emitting more than
25 watts of power. An aircraft EMC check can verify the degradation of GPS in the presence of
interference signals.
3c. To achieve the best possible low-elevation antenna gain (by minimizing pattern degradation due to
shadowing and near-field interaction), the GPS antenna must be mounted with clearance from
other antennas, including passive antennas such as another GPS antenna or XM antenna. When
practical, installers will use 12" center-to-center spacing between antennas. If 12" spacing is not
practical, installers will use the maximum center-to-center spacing from adjacent antennas, but
never less than 9" center-to-center spacing. Spacing less than 9" center-to-center results in
unacceptable GPS/SBAS antenna pattern degradation.

190-01007-02 GTN 725/750 TSO Installation Manual


Rev. N Page 3-9
4. To maintain a constant gain pattern and limit degradation by the windscreen, avoid mounting the
antenna closer than 3" from the windscreen.
5. For multiple GPS installations, the antennas should not be mounted in a straight line from the front
to the rear of the fuselage. Also varying the mounting location will help minimize any aircraft
shading by the wings or tail section (in a particular azimuth, when one antenna is blocked the other
antenna may have a clear view).
3.5.2 COM Antenna Location
The GTN COM antenna should be well removed from all projections, engines and propellers. The ground
plane surface directly below the antenna should be a flat plane over as large an area as possible (18"
square, minimum). The antenna should be mounted a minimum of six feet from any DME or other COM
antennas, four feet from any ADF sense antennas, and two feet from the GTN and its GPS antenna. The
COM antenna should also be mounted as far apart as practical from the ELT antenna. Some ELTs have
exhibited re-radiation problems generating harmonics that may interfere with GPS signals. This can
happen when the COM (GTN or any other COM) is transmitting on certain frequencies such as 121.15 or
121.175 MHz, which may cause the ELT output circuit to oscillate from the signal coming in on the ELT
antenna coax.
If simultaneous use of two COM transceivers is desired (split-COM or simul-COM), the COM antennas
should be spaced for maximum isolation. A configuration of one topside antenna and one bottom side
antenna is recommended. The GTN does not require a transmit interlock, but other COM radios such as the
GNS 530W may require it for split-COM operations.

NOTE
Canadian installations are required to meet Industry Canada specifications for maximum
radiation as documented in Radio Specifications Standard 102 (RSS-102). For more
information about RF exposure and related Canadian regulatory compliance, contact:

Manager, Radio Equipment Standards


Industry Canada
365 Laurier Avenue
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0C8
In accordance with Canadian Radio Specifications Standard 102 (RSS 102), RF field strength
exposure to persons from an antenna connected to this device should be limited to 60V/m for
controlled environment and 28V/m for uncontrolled environment.

Rev. N Page 3-11
3.5.3 VOR/LOC Antenna Location
The GTN VOR/LOC antenna should be well removed from all projections, engines and propellers. It
should have as clear a field of sight as possible. The antenna must be mounted along the centerline of the
aircraft, minimizing the lateral offset. Install the antennas according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Avoid running other wires and coaxial cables near the VOR/LOC antenna cable.
3.5.4 Glideslope Antenna Location
The GTN glideslope antenna should be well removed from all projections, engines and propellers. It
should have as clear a field of sight as possible. Install the antenna according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
3.5.5 Electrical Bonding
Ensure the GPS/SBAS/NAV/COM antennas are electrically bonded to the aircraft. Follow the aircraft
manufacturers’ instructions for the NAV and COM antenna installations, or obtain other FAA approval.
3.5.6 Interference of GPS
On some installations, VHF COM transceivers, Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) antennas, and
Direction Finder (DF) receiver antennas can re-radiate through the GPS antenna. The GTN COM does not
interfere with its own GPS section. However, placement of the GPS antenna relative to a COM transceiver
and COM antenna (including the GTN COM antenna), ELT antenna, and DF receiver antenna is critical.
Use the following guidelines, in addition to others in this document, when locating the GTN and its
antennas.
 Locate GPS antenna as far as possible from all COM antennas and all COM transceivers
(including the GTN COM), ELT antennas, and DF receiver antennas
 The GPS antenna is less susceptible to harmonic interference if a 1.57542 GHz notch filter is
installed on the COM transceiver antenna output
 Locate the GTN as far as possible from all COM antennas
If a COM antenna is found to be the problem, a 1.57542 GHz notch filter (Garmin P/N 330-00067-00) may
be installed in the VHF COM coax, as close to the COM as possible. This filter is not required for the GTN
transmitter.
If a COM is found to be radiating, the following can be done.
 Replace or clean VHF COM rack connector to ensure good coax ground
 Place a grounding brace between the GTN, VHF COM and ground
 Shield the VHF COM wiring harness

190-01007-02 GTN 725/750 TSO Installation Manual


Rev. N Page 3-12
3.6 GTN 725/750 Mounting Considerations
The GTN is designed to mount in the avionics stack in the aircraft instrument panel within view and reach
of the pilot. The primary unit location should minimize pilot head movement when transitioning between
looking outside of the cockpit and viewing/operating the GTN. The location should be such that the GTN
unit is not blocked by the glare shield on top, or by the throttles, control yoke, etc. on the bottom. If aircraft
has a throw-over yoke, be sure the yoke does not interfere with the GTN.
3.7 Cabling and Wiring Considerations
Wiring should be installed in accordance with AC 43.13-1B, Chapter 11. For dual GTN unit installations,
care should be taken to ensure separation between wires of redundant systems to reduce the possibility of
loss of navigation due to a single event. When wire separation cannot be achieved, the following
considerations should be addressed.
 Do not expose the cable harness to wire chafing in a manner that both GPS units fail
simultaneously
 Cable harnesses should not be located near flight control cables and controls, high voltage lines or
fuel lines
 The cable harness should be located in a protected area of the aircraft (e.g., isolated from engine
rotor burst)
 Do not route cable near high voltage sources

NOTE
Pigtail lengths must be less than 3.0". Wiring must be shielded as required in appendix D.

See section 4.8 and section 4.9 for connector and tooling information.
See section 4.11 for recommended coax cable.
See appendix D for the appropriate wiring connections to assemble the wiring connector.
Once the cable assemblies have been made, attach the cable connectors to the rear connector plate. After
installing the mounting tube, attach the assembled connector plate. Route the wiring bundle as appropriate.
Use 22 to 24 AWG wire for all connections except for power. For power and ground, use the wire gauge
specified in the interconnect drawing, then 22 AWG for the short length from the splice to the connector.
Avoid sharp bends.

Rev. N Page 3-13
3.8 Air Circulation and Cooling

CAUTION
To avoid damage to the GTN, take precautions to prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
when handling the GTN, connectors, fan, and associated wiring. ESD damage can be
prevented by touching an object that is of the same electrical potential as the GTN before
handling the GTN itself.

The GTN unit meets all TSO requirements without external cooling. However, as with all electronic
equipment, lower operating temperatures extend equipment life.
Units tightly packed in the avionics stack heat each other through radiation, convection, and sometimes by
direct conduction. Even a single unit operates at a much higher temperature in still air than in moving air.
Fans or some other means of moving the air around electronic equipment are usually a worthwhile
investment.
The GTN has a cooling fan integrated into the backplate to draw forced-air cooling through the unit. There
are inlets along the left, right, and bottom sides of the GTN bezel that allow air to flow through the unit.
Ensure that there are no obstructions to the air inlets or fan exhausts. Air should be able to freely flow from
the bezel inlets to the backplate fan outlet on the rear of the unit.
3.9 Compass Safe Distance
After reconfiguring the avionics in the cockpit panel, if the GTN unit is mounted less than 12" from the
compass, recalibrate the compass and make the necessary changes for noting correction data.
3.10 TAWS-A Installation Considerations
To install the GTN with Class A TAWS-A functionality, the following are required in the aircraft.
 ARINC 429 radio altimeter that meets the requirements of TSO-C87 or ETSO-2C87
 Active-low discrete landing gear position sensor/switch
 Active-low discrete flap position sensor/switch
 GTN 7XX configured according to section 6.7.1
 Any VHF navigation radios, meeting the requirements of TSO-C34( )/ETSO-2C34( ), or GPS
navigators certified to provided vertical guidance on GPS approaches, in addition to the GTN(s),
must be connected to the GTN using ARINC 429 to enable glideslope alerting when approaches
are flown using that LRU
3.11 HTAWS Installation Considerations
If the GTN is not installed in the pilot's primary field of view, external annunciations must be provided in
the primary field of view for HTAWS Warning, HTAWS Caution, HTAWS Not Available, and HTAWS
Inhibit. If the GTN is interfaced to a Garmin G500H, all necessary annunciations are provided on the
GDU.

4.10 Equipment Mounting
4.10.1 Rack Installation
Use the dimensions shown in figure C-3 to prepare the mounting holes for the GTN unit. You may also use
the GTN unit mounting rack itself as a template for drilling the mounting holes.
1. Figure C-1 shows outline dimensions for the avionics rack for the various GTN units. Install the
rack in a rectangular 6.32" x 6.07" hole (or gap between units) in the instrument panel. The lower-
front lip of the rack should be flush with, or extend slightly beyond, the finished aircraft panel.

NOTE
If the front lip of the mounting rack is behind the surface of the aircraft panel, the GTN
unit connectors may not fully engage. See figure C-4 for more information. Ensure that no
screw heads or other obstructions prevent the unit from fully engaging in the rack (see
section 6.3). Exercise caution when installing the rack into the instrument panel.
Deformation of the rack may make it difficult to install and remove the GTN unit.
2. Install the rack in the aircraft panel using ten #6-32 flat head screws and ten self-locking nuts. The
screws are inserted from the inside through the holes in the sides of the rack.
3. To attach the backplate to the rack, align the backplate so that the backplate screw heads pass
through the keyed holes in the back of the rack.
4. Slide the backplate to the right (viewing from cockpit) until it clicks into place. Secure the
backplate by tightening the four #4-40 screws.
4.10.2 GTN Unit Insertion and Removal
It may be necessary to insert the hex drive tool into the access hole and rotate the drive tool
counterclockwise until it completely stops in order to ensure correct position of the retention mechanism
prior to placing the unit in the rack. The GTN unit is installed in the rack by sliding it straight in until it
stops, about 3/8" short of the final position. A 3/32" hex drive tool is then inserted into the access hole at
the bottom of the unit face. Rotate the hex tool clockwise while pressing on the left side of the bezel until
the unit is firmly seated in the rack.
To remove the unit from the rack, insert the hex drive tool into the access hole on the unit face. Rotate
counterclockwise until the unit is forced out about 3/8" and the hex drive tool completely stops. This will
allow the unit to be freely pulled from the rack.
Be sure not to over tighten the unit into the rack. The application of hex drive tool torque exceeding 
15 in-lbs can damage the locking mechanism.
4.10.3 Unit Replacement
Whenever the GTN unit is removed or reinstalled, verify that the unit power-up self-test sequence is
successfully completed and no failure messages are annunciated. Section 6.11.1 outlines the power-up
self-test sequence.

4.11 Antenna Installation and Connections
4.11.1 GPS Antenna
Antenna cable installation information is contained in this section. For location considerations, 
see section 3.5.

NOTE
The internal GTN unit COM does not interfere with its own GPS/SBAS receiver. However,
placement of the GTN unit antenna relative to other COM transceivers and antennas
(including the GTN unit COM antenna) is critical.

NOTE
It may be beneficial to temporarily locate the GPS/SBAS antenna with coax connected to
the GTN unit and check the GPS/SBAS performance as described in section 6.11.2. Once a
suitable location has been verified, then permanently mount the antenna.
Once the antenna mounting position has been prepared, route the coax cable from the antenna to the GTN
unit. Proper selection of coax cable and assembly of connectors is critical to GPS signal performance.
Cable loss from the GPS/SBAS antenna must be between 1.5 dB and 6.5 dB in order to maintain
proper rejection to interference signals.
Coaxial connectors and adapters, such as TNC to BNC, add additional loss to the cable and should be
considered when computing the cable loss. A typical loss of 0.2 dB can be used for each connection. To
maintain integrity of the SBAS signal, the GPS antenna coaxial cable must have a minimum of two shields
(e.g., RG-400 or RG-142B).

NOTE
If RG-142B or RG-400 is used, 1.5 dB equates to a length of approximately 6.5 feet of
cable with a connector on each end. RG-142B or RG-400 cable can be used as long as the
length is less than 35 feet. For longer lengths, use low-loss double or triple shielded 50 
coax.
For very short runs, where the loss is less than 1.5 dB, additional cable should be used to increase the loss
to within 1.5 dB to 6.5 dB. This additional cable may be coiled, taking into account the minimum bend
radius of the cable.
During the post-installation checkout, susceptibility to harmonics of VHF COM transmitters will be
evaluated. If problems arise, then better isolation, or distance, may be required between the GPS and COM
antennas, or a 1575.42 MHz notch filter, Garmin P/N 330-00067-00, may be installed in series with the
antenna coax of the VHF COM transceiver to reduce or eliminate the harmonic interference.
If a VHF COM transmitter causes problems with the GPS on the selected frequencies as listed in the post-
installation checkout, the problem may be due to the ELT. This can be verified by disconnecting the ELT
antenna coax at the ELT unit. If the ELT is found to cause the problem, then contact the ELT manufacturer
or replace the ELT.

190-01007-02 GTN 725/750 TSO Installation Manual


Rev. N Page 4-9
4.11.2 COM Antenna (GTN 750 Only)
The GTN unit requires a standard 50  vertically polarized antenna. Follow the antenna manufacturer’s
installation instructions for mounting the antenna.
The antenna should be mounted on a metal surface or a ground plane with a minimum area of 
18" x 18". See section 3.5.2 for installation location considerations.
The antenna coax cable should be made of RG-142B, RG-400 or a comparable quality 50  coax.
Check for insertion loss and VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio). VSWR should be checked with an in-
line type VSWR/wattmeter inserted in the coaxial transmission line between the transceiver and the
antenna. The VSWR should be inserted as close to the transceiver as possible. When rack and harness
buildup is performed in the shop, the coax termination may be provisioned by using a 6" inline BNC
connection. This would be an acceptable place to insert the VSWR. Any problem with the antenna
installation is most likely seen as high reflected power. A VSWR of 3:1 may result in up to a 50% loss in
transmit power.
4.11.3 NAV Antenna (GTN 750 Only)
The NAV antenna is a standard 50 Ω horizontally polarized VOR/Localizer/Glideslope antenna (the
glideslope may be a separate antenna in some aircraft) that receives VOR frequencies between 108 and
117.95 MHz, and localizer frequencies between 108 and 112 MHz, and glideslope information between
328.6 and 335.4 MHz Follow the antenna manufacturer’s installation instructions for mounting antennas.
It is recommended that the installer use RG-142B, RG-400 or equivalent 50 Ω coax for the NAV
antenna(s).

4.12 Electrical Installation Procedure
The installation kits for the GTN include connectors and crimp contacts. Use wire specified in section 4.7
for all connections. Make the crimp connections with a crimp tool as specified in table 4-15.
For the appropriate connections see the interconnect diagrams in appendix D. Use 22 or 24 AWG wire for
all connections. For power and ground, use the wire gauge specified in the interconnect drawings in
appendix D and 22 AWG for the short length from the splice to the connector. Install the configuration
module as described in section 4.12.1.2. Once the wire harness assemblies have been made, use anti-chafe
tape and attach the backshell/connector to the rear of the mounting unit. Route the wire harness as
appropriate. Avoid sharp bends that may damage the wire harness. Allow adequate space for installation of
wire harnesses and connectors. See section 5 for connector pinout information. All electrical connections
to the GTN are made through the following connectors provided by Garmin.
 J1001 Main - 78-pin high-density D-Sub connector (male)
 J1002 Main - 26-pin high-density D-Sub connector (male)
 J1003 COM - 44-pin high-density D-Sub connector (male) (GTN 750 only)
 J1004 NAV - 62-pin high-density D-Sub connector (male) (GTN 750 only)
 J1005 I/O - 62-pin high-density D-Sub connector (male)
Construct the wire harness according to the information contained in this and the following sections. Strip
all wires going to the connectors 0.17 inches. Insert the wire into the pin and crimp with one of the
recommended (or equivalent) crimping tools. Insert the pin into the connector housing location as
specified by the interconnect drawing in appendix D. Verify that the pin is properly engaged into the
connector by gently tugging on the wire.
Section 5 provides the pin-out information for the GTN. Required connectors and associated hardware are
supplied with the connector kits.

CAUTION
Check wiring connections for errors before inserting the unit into the rack. Incorrect
wiring could cause component damage.
4.12.1 Backshell Assembly and D-Sub Connectors
The GTN connector kits include Garmin backshell assemblies and ground adapter assemblies. Backshell
connectors give the installer the ability to terminate shield grounds at the backshell housing using the
shield block ground kit. Table 4-17 lists Garmin part numbers for the D-Sub connectors and the backshell
assemblies.

Figure 4-3 Shield Termination on Backshell Assembly (Preferred Method)

190-01007-02 GTN 725/750 TSO Installation Manual


Rev. N Page 4-15
The screws (16) used to ground the shields to the shield block should penetrate two to four threads past the
shield block when installed. If the screws are too long, they could potentially damage the wires going into
the backshell.
Each tapped hole on the backshell can accommodate only two ring terminals (15). It is preferred that only
two wires (13) be terminated per ring terminal. Two wires per ring terminal will necessitate the use of a
ring terminal, #8, insulated, 14-16 AWG (MS25036-153). If only a single wire is left or if only a single
wire is needed for this connector a ring terminal, #8, insulated, 18-22 AWG (MS25036-149) can
accommodate this single wire. If more wires exist for the connector than two per ring terminal, it is
permissible to terminate three wires per ring terminal.
Prepare all of the shielded cables as shown in figure 4-2. See figure 4-3 For details of the shield
termination to the connector backshell. Skip to step 5 below for wires with no shielding.
1. At the end of the shielded cable (11), strip back a 2.5" maximum length of the jacket to expose the
braid. Remove this exposed braid. Carefully score the jacket 1/4" to 5/16" from the end and
remove the jacket to leave the braid exposed.
2. Connect a 20 or 22 AWG wire (13) to the exposed shield of the prepared cable assembly. See
figure 4-2.

NOTE
Alternatively, use a Raychem S-2 series solder sleeve with the thermochromic temperature
indicator. These solder sleeves come with a pre-installed lead and effectively take the
place of items 12 and 13. For detailed instructions on product use, refer to Raychem
installation procedure.
3. Slide a shield terminator (12) onto the prepared cable assembly (11) and connect the wire (13) to
the shield using a heat gun approved for use with solder sleeves. The chosen size of solder sleeve
must accommodate both the number of conductors present in the cable and the wire (13) to be
attached.
4. For the remaining shielded cables, repeat steps 1 through 3 as needed.
5. Crimp pins/sockets (14) onto the wires and terminate in the connector (10) in accordance with the
aircraft wiring drawings.
6. For P1001, install the configuration module wires into the connector. For instructions on installing
the configuration module, see section 4.12.1.2.
Complete the following steps to assemble the backshell onto the connector, see figure 4-1.
1. Attach the shield block (2) to the backshell (1) by inserting the flathead screws (3) through the
holes on the shield block and threading into the tapped holes on the backshell (1). See figure 4-1.
2. Wrap the wire harness with silicone fusion tape (19 or a similar version) at the point where the
backshell strain relief and cast housing will contact the wire harness.
3. Place the smooth side of the backshell strain relief (7) across the wire harness and secure using the
two screws (6). Ensure that each half of the strain relief bar is supporting half of the wire harness.

CAUTION
Placing the grooved side of the strain relief across the wire harness may damage wires.
4. For P1001, install the configuration module into the connector backshell. For instructions on
installing the configuration module into the backshell, see section 4.12.1.2.
5. Attach the cover (8) to the backshell with two screws (9).

Rev. N Page 4-16
6. Install ring terminals (15) onto the shield drain wires (13), grouping wires as appropriate for the
connector.
7. Terminate the ring terminals to the shield block (2) by placing items on the pan head screw (16) in
the following order: split washer (17), flat washer (18), first ring terminal, second ring terminal if
needed, before finally inserting the screw into the tapped holes on the shield block.
8. Insert the assembled connector into the backplate. Using screws (3), secure the connector into the
backplate.

Power inputs P1001-19 and P1001-20 provide power for everything except for the COM radio and NAV
radio. Both pins must be connected.
Power inputs P1003-30, P1003-43, and P1003-44 provide power for the COM radio. All three pins must be
connected.
Power inputs P1004-51 and P1004-52 provide power for the NAV radio. Both pins must be connected.
5.2.2 Lighting Bus

CAUTION
Connection of the lighting bus to incorrect pins can cause damage to the unit that will
require return to the factory for repair. Ensure that the lighting bus is connected to the
correct pins and does not short to any adjacent pins prior to applying power to the unit,
including the lighting bus.

LIGHTING BUS 1 LO P1001 17 In
LIGHTING BUS 2 HI P1001 61 In
LIGHTING BUS 2 LO P1001 42 In
The GTN can be configured to track 28 VDC, 14 VDC, 5 VDC or 5 VAC lighting buses using these inputs.
Two lighting buses allow for independent control of display and bezel lighting. Alternatively, the GTN can
automatically adjust for ambient lighting conditions based on the photocell. See section 6.6.6 for
instructions on configuring the lighting inputs.

Pin Name Connector I/O
GPS/SBAS ANTENNA P1006 In
COM ANTENNA P1007 I/O
NAV ANTENNA P1008 In
The GPS/SBAS antenna use a TNC coaxial connector on the connector backplate. The COM and NAV
antennas use BNC coaxial connectors on the connector backplate. See figure D-5 for splitter/diplexer
block diagrams.
5.2.4 Serial Data
5.2.4.1 RS-232
The GTN interfaces with other aviation instruments by transmitting RS-232 Type 1 and Type 2 data on any
RS-232 OUT port. See appendix section B.1 for a detailed data format description of the following.
 Current latitude, longitude, and GPS altitude in feet (see note below)
 Current velocity vector (ground speed and direction of velocity vector over the ground)
 Distance to waypoint
 Cross track error
 Desired track
 Destination waypoint identifier
 Bearing to destination waypoint
 Magnetic variation
 Navigation and warning status
 Waypoint sequence in route
 Waypoint position (latitude and longitude) and magnetic variation

NOTE
Aviation RS-232 data may be transmitted with or without the current GPS altitude in feet.
See appendix B.
The GTN can receive pressure altitude, air data, and fuel data from certain systems on any RS-232 IN port.

5.2.7 Main Indicator
5.2.7.1 Main Indicator Function
The main indicator displays both lateral and vertical deviation from selected course, to/from indications,
lateral and vertical flags and superflags.
The CDI key on the screen of the GTN takes the place of remote NAV/GPS switches, and is used to toggle
between display of GPS and VOR/ILS navigation on a remote indicator. The navigation source is
annunciated on the display below the CDI key. The navigation method is optionally annunciated
externally by connecting to the VOR/LOC ANNUNCIATE output (P1001-52) and GPS ANNUNCIATE
output (P1001-15). GPS and VOR/ILS navigation may be toggled externally when the CDI SOURCE
SELECT input (P1001-39) is momentarily grounded. See section 5.2.8 and section 5.2.9 for more
information on the discrete inputs and outputs.
An OBS resolver connection to the GPS is preferred, but not required. For the GTN 750, an OBS resolver
typically is connected to the MAIN OBS inputs for use with the VOR receiver.

5.2.15 VOR/ILS Discrete Inputs (GTN 750 Only)
Table 5-33 VOR/ILS Discrete Inputs
Pin Name Connector Pin I/O
VOR/LOC REMOTE TRANSFER* P1004 28 In
An asterisk (*) following a signal name denotes that the signal is Active-Low, requiring a ground to
activate.
This input is considered active if either the voltage to ground is ≤3.5 VDC or the resistance to ground is
≤375 . This input is considered inactive if the voltage to ground is 11-33 VDC or the resistance to ground
is >100 kΩ.
5.2.15.1 VOR/LOC REMOTE TRANSFER
The VOR/LOC REMOTE TRANSFER* discrete input is used to flip-flop between the active and standby
NAV frequencies. A momentary low on this pin will load the standby NAV frequency into the active NAV
frequency field.
5.2.16 VOR/ILS Indicator (GTN 750 Only)
5.2.16.1 VOR/ILS Indicator Function

NOTE
Because the GTN 750 includes a CDI key that performs switching between GPS and VOR/
ILS on a remote indicator, it is seldom necessary to use these outputs to drive an indicator.
It is only necessary when it is desired for a separate indicator to display VOR/ILS
deviation full-time, regardless of the CDI key status.
The VOR/ILS indicator displays both lateral and vertical, To/From indications, lateral and vertical flags
and superflags. GTN 750 connector P1004 always outputs the VOR/Localizer/Glideslope navigation
information. The VOR/ILS pins on P1004 are used to drive an indicator that displays VOR/ILS
information at all times, regardless of the CDI selection on the GTN 750.
The VOR/LOC COMPOSITE OUT is a standard VOR/localizer composite output signal which is used to
drive Left/Right, To/From, and Flag indications of certain navigation indicators that contain an internal
converter.
The ILS ENERGIZE output becomes active (low) when VOR/LOC frequency is set to a localizer channel.

6 POST INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION AND CHECKOUT
PROCEDURES
6.1 System Configuration Overview
This section contains instructions for configuring the GTN for each installation as well as checks to ensure
the system is properly installed and functioning correctly. A summary of the steps required for
configuration and checkout of the GTN is as follows.
 Perform the installation checks
 Load software into the GTN, see section 6.16
 Configure the GTN for the specific installation, see section 6.4
 Perform ground checks to verify the interfaces to external sensors, see section 6.10 and 
section 6.11
 Perform the specified flight checks, see section 6.13
 Update the aircraft documentation, see section 6.17
6.2 Mounting, Wiring, and Power Checks
Verify that all cables are properly secured and shields are connected to the shield block of the connectors.
Check the movement of the flight and engine controls to verify there is no interference between the cabling
and control systems. Ensure that all wiring is installed as described in section 3.7.
Prior to powering up the GTN, the wiring harness must be checked for proper connections to the aircraft
systems and other avionics equipment. Point to point continuity must be checked to expose any faults such
as shorting to ground. Any faults or discrepancies must be corrected before proceeding.
After accomplishing a continuity check, perform power and ground checks to verify proper power
distribution to the GTN. Any faults or discrepancies should be corrected at this time. Remove power from
the aircraft upon completion of the harness checkout.
The GTN can be installed after completion of the continuity and power checks. The GTN should be
installed into the rack and secured appropriately, as described in section 4.10.1. The GTN must be
connected to the wiring harness and antennas.

CAUTION
Before applying power to the GTN, ensure all lighting buses are turned to their lowest
setting. This prevents damage to the unit in case of any wiring errors. Apply power and
slowly increase the brightness. Stop if the brightness does not increase the lighting level.
Verify wiring before proceeding.

Rev. N Page 6-1
6.3 Connector Engagement Check
Prior to configuration and checkout of the GTN, the connector engagement should be checked as described
below:
1. If installed, turn on the avionics master switch.
2. Place the GTN in the rack and engage the cam mechanism.
3. Turn the Allen screw of the locking cam (located on the lower left side of the unit) slowly
clockwise until the GTN just powers on. A T-handle can be used for this, but ensure that the screw
is not over-tightened.
4. Count the number of complete revolutions the Allen screw can be turned until it cannot turn any
more. Take care not to over-tighten. Three turns is the minimum for proper installation. If fewer
than three turns are possible, the mounting rack should be moved aft (toward the pilot) such that
the aircraft panel does not obstruct the unit from properly engaging in the rack.

6.6.11 COM Configuration Page (GTN 750 Only)
Access the COM Configuration page by touching the COM key from the GTN Setup page. These values
are set at the factory and rarely require calibration. To enable or disable the COM radio, touch the key to
toggle between “Enabled” and “Disabled.” The COM radio defaults to enabled state.

Figure 6-22 COM Configuration Page


COM RF Squelch
This setting configures the RF squelch threshold for the COM radio. The default setting is 0%. 0% is the
most sensitive (i.e., the weakest signal level necessary to break squelch). Increasing the value will require a
stronger signal to break squelch.
Garmin has changed the GTN COM radio factory calibration process to allow the level at which the auto
squelch opens or closes to be set at a more sensitive level. The COM RF squelch range (0-100) was
remapped as shown in table 6-24. Installations of radios with the expanded sensitivity calibration process
may require a different COM RF Squelch setting to achieve the desired RF squelch performance. All
current production units are shipped with the expanded sensitivity calibration process.
Table 6-24 contains the approximate levels when the auto squelch opens and closes for various COM RF
squelch settings. Installations of GTNs with the expanded sensitivity calibration will generally use a COM
RF squelch setting of 75 or higher. Installations of GTNs with the original sensitivity calibration will
generally use a COM RF squelch setting of 0 or higher.

6.9.6.2.2 Volume Configuration Settings
Use the following procedure when adjusting volumes in the GMA 35 to provide the best audio results. This
procedure allows the signal levels in the audio wires to be large so that they are more resistant to noise
interference. When audio levels can be controlled at the audio source and the GMA 35 has an input gain
control for the audio source, perform the following procedure:
1. Adjust the source audio level to the minimum and the audio panel input gain control to the
minimum.
2. Adjust the volume settings on the audio panel for normal operation.
3. Increase the audio source level until the desired audio level is reached or the audio source is close
to the maximum specified input level for the audio panel input.
4. If the audio from the audio source is not loud enough, increase the audio panel input gain until the
desired audio level is reached. Repeat this setup for each audio source and audio panel input with
adjustable gains.
5. If the audio source does not have adjustable gain then adjust the gain for the audio panel input until
the desired audio level is reached. For volume adjustments on the GMA 35, increasing the gain to
+96 will increase the volume, and decreasing the gain to -96 will decrease the volume.
6. If the audio panel input does not have adjustable gain then adjust the audio source gain until the
desired audio level is reached. Refer to the audio source manufacturer’s installation documentation
for volume adjustment instructions. For the volume settings described below, higher gain values
increase volume and lower gain values decrease volume.

It is known that certain non-aviation radios, including marine transceivers, can interfere with civil aviation
navigation and surveillance equipment including the Garmin GTN. When installing GTN equipment, it is
the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the GTN modification is compatible with all previous
aircraft modifications. Garmin recommends that whenever a GTN is installed in an aircraft that has been
modified with non-aviation radios, particular care should be exercised to verify that these do not interfere
with proper function of the GTN. Special care should also be taken to ensure that there is no interference
with the GTN if non-aviation radios are installed in an aircraft after a GTN has been installed. If
interference is found, it can be addressed by relocating antennas, rerouting cables, using filters to attenuate
unintentional harmonic frequency transmissions, or using various other techniques for elimination of the
interference. It may be necessary to remove or replace the interfering radio with a model that does not
interfere with the proper functioning of the GTN.
If you are testing a transmitter from a non-aviation device, each frequency must be verified by transmitting
for at least 30 seconds on each channel. The interference check must be completed on all IFR installations.
Once the Signal Acquisition Test has been completed successfully, perform the following steps:
1. View the GPS Status page and verify that at least 7 satellites have been acquired by the GTN.
2. Verify that the GPS “LOI” flag is out of view.
3. Select 121.150 MHz on the COM transceiver to be tested.
4. Transmit for a period of 35 seconds.
5. Verify that the GPS “LOI” flag does not come into view.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the following frequencies:

following:
121.185 MHz 130.285 MHz
121.190 MHz 131.290 MHz

7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for all remaining COM transceivers installed in the aircraft.
8. If aircraft is TCAS-equipped, turn on the TCAS system and verify that GPS position remains valid
(if position is lost, the status on the GPS Status page will change to “ACQUIRING”).
9. If aircraft is SATCOM-equipped, use the SATCOM system and verify that GPS position remains
valid (if position is lost, the status on the GPS Status page will change to “ACQUIRING”).

Localizer frequency and verify the CDI needle and NAV flag, and VDI needle and GS flag operation.
6.11.5 VHF COM Checkout (GTN 750 Only)
6.11.5.1 Antenna Check
The antenna check is optional; however, it is encouraged to be completed. The antenna VSWR can be
checked using an inline wattmeter in the antenna coax using frequencies near both ends of the band. The
VSWR should be < 2:1. A VSWR of 2:1 will cause a drop in output power of approximately 12%.
6.11.5.2 Receiver/Transmitter Operation
Tune the unit to a local VHF frequency and verify the receiver output produces a clear and understandable
audio output. Verify the transmitter functions properly by contacting another station and getting a report of
reliable communications.

6.13 Flight Checks
All GTN functions that cannot be adequately tested on the ground will require a flight check. Even if all
functions can be verified on the ground, a flight check is recommended as final installation verification.
Verify system operation as described in the following sections.

NOTE
The analog deviation (LEFT/RIGHT and UP/DOWN), TO/FROM, and FLAG (lateral and
vertical) outputs to a CDI or HSI should be verified in flight with potential sources of
electrical noise such as autopilot, flaps, gear, heater blowers, etc. operating. Lateral
deviation and flags may be checked with either GPS or VOR/ILS, and vertical deviation
and flags must be checked with glideslope. Verify that the flags are hidden at the correct
times, and that the flag is in view at the correct times.
6.13.1 GPS Flight Check
1. Verify that GPS position is not lost during normal aircraft maneuvering (e.g., bank angles up to 30
degrees and pitch angles associated with take-off, departures, approaches, landing and missed
approaches as applicable). If GPS position is lost, a “Loss of GPS Navigation” message will be
displayed.
2. Enter and activate a flight plan on the GTN by pressing the Direct-To button and entering a
waypoint. Fly the flight plan and verify that the display of flight plan data is consistent with the
CDI indication (deviation, TO/FROM…) in the pilot’s primary field of view.
6.13.2 VHF COM Flight Check (GTN 750 Only)
To check the communications transceiver, maintain an appropriate altitude and contact a ground station
facility at a range of at least 50 nautical miles. Contact a ground station in close proximity. Press the COM
volume knob to select manual squelch and listen for any unusual electrical noise, which would increase the
squelch threshold. If possible, verify the communications capability on both the high, low and mid bands
of the VHF COM band. It may be required by the governing regulatory agency to verify operation of the
COM transmitter and receiver at the extents of a ground facility’s service volume (e.g., FAA AC 23-8A).
6.13.3 VOR Flight Check (GTN 750 Only)
1. Tune a local VOR station within 50 miles.
2. Verify the audio IDENT and voice quality have no objectionable electrical interference such as
magneto noise.
3. Verify the Morse code decoder IDs the station (95% probability).
4. Fly to and from the station.
5. Verify NAV flag, TO/FROM flag, and CDI are operational.
It may be required by the governing regulatory agency to verify operation of the VOR receiver at the
extents of a ground facility’s service volume (e.g., FAA AC 23-8A).
6.13.4 ILS Flight Check (GTN 750 Only)
1. Tune an ILS at the local airport.
2. Verify the AUDIO IDENT and AUDIO QUALITY have no objectionable electrical interference
such as magneto noise.
3. Verify the Morse code decoder IDs the station (95% probability).
4. Fly the approach.
5. Verify NAV flag, GS flag, and CDI and VDI are operational.

Rev. N Page 6-128
6.13.5 Autopilot Flight Check
1. Enter and activate a flight plan on the GTN. For the GTN, ensure that GPS is selected on the CDI.
Engage the autopilot in the GPSS mode, if available. Verify that the autopilot flies the course.
2. Disengage the autopilot and fly off course. Re-engage the autopilot (in GPSS mode) and verify
that it correctly intercepts the course and continues to fly it.
3. Turn off the autopilot GPSS but leave the autopilot engaged in NAV mode. Verify that it maintains
the current course.
4. (GTN 750 Only): Reselect the GPSS mode on the autopilot. Press the CDI key to select VLOC on
the GTN. Verify that the GPSS mode disengages.
5. For autopilots that provide vertical guidance, fly a vertically coupled LPV approach. Ensure the
autopilot correctly flies the approach.
6. Deviate from the glideslope by using control wheel steering, or by disengaging the autopilot.
Ensure the autopilot correctly follows the approach guidance once re-engaged.
6.13.6 TAWS/HTAWS Audio Flight Check (TAWS/HTAWS-equipped Units Only)
The TAWS/HTAWS volume needs to be loud enough to ensure that aural alerts are audible under all
anticipated noise environmental conditions. This check verifies that TAWS/HTAWS aurals can be heard
during flight, but the ambient noise conditions under which it is verified are not worst-case. Consequently,
the “Five Hundred” callout should be louder than is required for the conditions under which it is verified.
1. Set up for an approach to the airport.
2. During the approach, at approximately 500 ft AGL, the “Five Hundred” callout will occur. Verify
that “Five Hundred” can be easily heard and understood.
6.14 Database Check
1. Check the navigation database to ensure it is current. The database information is displayed during
the unit display start-up sequence. To check the database:
2. Turn off the GTN and then turn it on. The GTN will go through its normal start-up sequence.
3. Wait for the Navigation Database page to be displayed.
4. Verify that the expiration date displayed has not passed.
If the database has expired, then remove the SD card and update the navigation database as described in
section 6.15 and section 1.13.
6.15 Data Card Replacement

CAUTION
Handle the data cards carefully. Do not touch the connector edge of the data card.

To replace the data card:


1. Ensure that the GTN is turned off.
2. Remove the data card by pressing the card until it disengages and then pull the card to extract from
the unit.
3. With the label facing right, insert the new data card by pushing the card straight into the slot and
press until it is inserted fully.

B.3 RS-232 NMEA Radio Control Format
B.3.1 Electrical Interface
The I/O signals are compatible with RS-232C. Data is generated at 9600 baud with a word length of 8 bits,
one stop bit, and no parity.
The data format for the serial communication is:
Baud rate 9600
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Parity None
B.3.2 Message Formats
All messages conform to the NMEA 0183 proprietary message format as follows. All characters will be
standard ASCII characters. No binary data characters are used.
“$” Start of message character, ASCII “$” (024h)
“P” Proprietary message identifier
“GRM” Garmin company identifier
c Message class identifier; identifies a message as either a COM or NAV message. The
COM portion of the GTN uses “C,” while the NAV portion uses “V.”
nn Message identifier; two-digit number in ASCII characters
d.....d Message data characters defined for each message.
chksum Message checksum, including message identifier (nn) through data characters (d.....d).
The two-digit checksum is generated by adding all values of valid characters together,
ignoring carry (if any). This value is converted into two encoded hex characters (30h-3Fh)
[1]
<CR> ASCII carriage return (0Dh)
<LF> ASCII line feed (0Ah)
The maximum message length, including the start of message character (“$”) and the end of message
<CR><LF> sequence, is 25 bytes.
Note:
[1] Encoded hex: each character consists of 4 bits of data placed in the low order nibble +30h. For
example, the 8-bit value 5Fh would be encoded as two characters with values of 35h and 3Fh,
which map to the ASCII characters “5” and “?”, respectively.

B.3.3 Message Output Rate
The GTN will output the COM transceiver status at a 1 Hz rate.
B.3.4 Input Messages
B.3.4.1 Request Data Output
This message input is used to request an output message to be sent by the GTN. Message data may be
specified. There are a two important things to keep in mind.
1. The GTN will flag the specified message for output when it receives the request. There will be a
lag between the time the message is flagged for output and the time it is actually output. If another
request for the same message is received in this period, then the previous request will be lost. The
amount of lag depends on the number of messages that are consecutively flagged for output.
2. Use of unsupported output identifiers will not generate a communication error message.
Message format (NAV requests):
“V” Message class. This is a NAV request
“24” Message identifier
ii Output identifier of requested message, two ASCII characters. 29 = Request NAV audio
40 = Request NAV Volume. 41 = Request NAV Status
“000” Reserved
Message format (COM requests):
“C” Message class. This is a COM request
“06” Message identifier
ii Output identifier of requested message, two ASCII characters. 02 = Request COM audio
volume. 03 = Request COM software version. 13 = Request COM status. 14 = Request
GTN software version
d Message sub-id; set to (ASCII) 1 for request COM audio volume, 0 otherwise
“00” Reserved
Example messages:
$PGRMV2429000<chksm><CR><LF>

B.3.4.2 Set Standby COM Frequency and Transceiver Function
This message is used to set the standby COM frequency as well as the COM transceiver function.
Message format:
“C” Message class. This is a COM message
“01” Message identifier
mk Standby COM frequency
m = desired frequency in MHz in hexadecimal, where M = desired frequency - 30h, with
desired frequency in range of 118 to 136 MHz
k = desired frequency in kHz, where k = (desired frequency / 25 kHz) + 30h, with desired
frequency in range of 000 to 975 kHz in 25 kHz steps
a Transceiver function: N = normal, M = monitor, 0 = unchanged
o 8.33 kHz offset: (ASCII) 0 = 25 kHz frequency (.000); 1 = first 8.33 kHz channel offset
(.005); 2 = second 8.33 kHz channel offset (.010); 3 = third 8.33 kHz channel offset (.015)
Example messages:
$PGRMC01KFM2<chksm><CR><LF>
This example command would set the standby COM frequency to 123.565 MHz and place the COM radio
in monitor mode. This is interpreted by noting that the ASCII “G” corresponds with 47h + 30h = 77h,
which converted to decimal equals 119 for the MHz portion. The kHz portion converts ASCII “F” to 46h, -
30h yields 16h, x25 kHz steps = 550 kHz, add 3 8.33 channels = 565 kHz.

NOTE
The GTN will check input frequencies for validity. An RS-232 serial error message output
will be generated if the frequency is invalid, or an 8.33 kHz frequency is requested when
the GTN is in 25 kHz channel spacing mode.

B.3.4.3 Set COM Volume Level and Audio Control Parameters

desired frequency in range of 108 to 117 MHz
k = desired frequency in kHz, where k = (desired frequency / 25 kHz) + 30h, with desired
frequency in range of 000 to 975 kHz in 50 kHz steps, or the even numbers from 30h to
56h
“0” Reserved, data in this field will be ignored
Example message:
$PGRMV28?P0<chksm><CR><LF>
This example command would set the standby VOR frequency to 111.800 MHz. This is interpreted by
noting that the ASCII “?” corresponds with 3Fh, +30h = 6Fh, converted to decimal equals 111 for the MHz
portion. The kHz portion converts ASCII “P” to 50h, -30h yields 20h, x 25 kHz steps = 800 kHz.

NOTE
The GTN will check input frequencies for validity. An RS-232 serial error message output
will be generated if the frequency is invalid.

4 INFORMATION.

FOR INSTALLATIONS WITH MULTIPLE GTNs, ONLY ONE GTN SHOULD HAVE TAWS/HTAWS ENABLED TO
5 PREVENT CONFLICTING AUDIO MESSAGES.

CONNECT TO THE AUDIO INHIBIT INPUTS OF OTHER SYSTEMS WITH LOWER PRIORITY AURALS THAN
6 TAWS.

7 THESE PINS ARE USED FOR TAWS AND HTAWS INSTALLATIONS.

THESE PINS ARE USED ONLY FOR HTAWS INSTALLATIONS. THERE IS NO DEFAULT CONFIGURATION FOR
8 THESE DISCRETE INPUTS/OUTPUTS. AN UNUSED DISCRETE MUST BE ASSIGNED TO THIS FUNCTION.
SEE SECTION 6.6.14 FOR MORE INFORMATION ON CONFIGURING DISCRETES.

DEFAULT DISCRETE FUNCTION FOR PINS 35, 37, 57, 71, 72 AND 73 ARE SHOWN. THESE PIN FUNCTIONS
9 ARE CONFIGURABLE AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 6.6.14.

THESE PINS ARE USED ONLY FOR TAWS-A INSTALLATIONS. THERE IS NO DEFAULT CONFIGURATION FOR
10 THESE DISCRETE INPUTS/OUTPUTS. AN UNUSED DISCRETE MUST BE ASSIGNED TO THIS FUNCTION.
SEE SECTION 6.6.14 FOR MORE INFORMATION ON CONFIGURING DISCRETES.
THESE DISCRETES MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE LANDING GEAR AND FLAP POSITION SENSORS IN THE
AIRCRAFT TO INDICATE WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS IN THE LANDING CONFIGURATION. THESE ARE ACTIVE-
11 LOW DISCRETE INPUTS AND CAN BE CONFIGURED FOR “ACTIVE FOR LANDING” OR “ACTIVE FOR NON-
LANDING” BASED ON THE INSTALLED SWITCH TYPE. SEE SECTION 6.6.14 FOR MORE INFORMATION.

IF THE INSTALLED ANNUNCIATOR PANEL DOES NOT PROVIDE A GLIDESLOPE CAUTION ANNUNCIATE
12 LAMP, THIS DISCRETE OUTPUT CAN BE TIED TO THE TAWS CAUTION ANNUNCIATION LAMP.

IN TAWS-A INSTALLATIONS, THE GTN CAN BE INTERFACED WITH OTHER NON-GTN NAVIGATION RADIOS
AND GPS NAVIGATORS THAT OUTPUT COURSE/GLIDESLOPE DEVIATION TO PROVIDE TAWS-A
13 GLIDESLOPE ALERTING WHEN APPROACHES ARE FLOWN USING THOSE APPLIANCES. GTN COURSE/
GLIDESLOPE DEVIATION IS AUTOMATICALLY FORWARDED TO THE TAWS GTN, SO THE NON-TAWS GTN
DOES NOT NEED THIS ADDITIONAL ARINC 429 CONNECTION TO THE TAWS GTN.
IF THE ARINC 429 PORTS SHOWN ARE ALREADY USED FOR ANOTHER PURPOSE, ANY ARINC 429 PORT
MAY BE CONNECTED IN LIEU OF PORT 1. THIS INTERFACE IS SUPPORTED ON THE TAWS OR NON-TAWS
14 GTNS IN A DUAL GTN INSTALLATION BECAUSE DATA RECEIVED ON THIS INPUT IS FORWARDED TO THE
TAWS GTN.

15 IF A FLAP OVERRIDE SWITCH IS INSTALLED, IT MUST BE A GUARDED SWITCH.

NOTES

1 ALL WIRES 24 AWG OR LARGER UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.

2 GROUND DESIGNATIONS: S SHIELD BLOCK GROUND AIRFRAME GROUND

AT THE GTN 7XX, CONNECT SHIELD GROUNDS TO THE CONNECTOR BACKSHELL -- THE SHIELD LEADS
3 MUST BE LESS THAN 3.0". CONNECT THE SHIELD GROUNDS AT THE GWX 68/70 TO ITS CONNECTOR
BACKSHELL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GWX 68/70 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

4 USE AIRCRAFT GRADE CATEGORY 5 ETHERNET CABLE. SEE SECTION 4.7.2 FOR PART NUMBERS.

IF ETHERNET PORT IS ALREADY USED FOR ANOTHER PURPOSE, ANY ETHERNET PORT MAY BE
CONNECTED. SEE SECTION 5 FOR PINOUT INFORMATION. ONLY THE GTN 7XX IS CAPABLE OF
5 DISPLAYING GWX 68/70 DATA. RECOMMEND CONNECTING THE GTN 725 OR GTN 750 DIRECTLY TO THE
GWX 68/70.
CONFIGURATION MODULE HARNESS USES 28 AWG WIRES. CONTACTS SUPPLIED WITH
6 CONFIGURATION MODULE MUST BE USED FOR CONNECTING CONFIGURATION MODULE HARNESS TO
P1001.

THE WIRING TO THE HSDB WEATHER RADAR R/T MUST BE OVERBRAIDED IN THE RADOME AREA, PRIOR
7 TO ENTERING THE FUSELAGE.

8 THE WXR ARINC 453/708 INPUT IS UNTERMINATED.

IF THE GTN IS THE ONLY EQUIPMENT ON THE ARINC 453/708 OUTPUT BUS FROM THE WEATHER RADAR,
OR IF IT IS DESIRED TO UTILIZE THE GTN INTERNAL TERMINATION RESISTOR, INSTALL THE TERMINATION
9 JUMPER SHOWN. THIS LENGTH OF THIS JUMPER SHOULD NOT EXCEED 3”. IF MULTIPLE PIECES OF
EQUIPMENT ARE ON THE ARINC 453/708 BUS, ONLY ONE TERMINATION RESISTOR SHOULD BE UTILIZED,
AT THE LAST LRU ON THE ARINC 453/708 BUS.

AT WEATHER RADAR UNIT, CONNECT SHIELD GROUNDS TO AIRCRAFT GROUND WITH AS SHORT A
10 CONDUCTOR AS PRACTICAL.

11 THE GTN MAY BE CONNECTED AS INDICATOR #1 OR INDICATOR #2.

IF THE STRUT SWITCH INPUT IS CONNECTED TO THE WXR, DISCONNECT IT. THE GTN WILL
12 AUTOMATICALLY COMMAND THE WXR TO STANDBY UPON LANDING. THIS ALSO ALLOWS THE PILOT TO
TURN THE WXR ON PRIOR TO TAKEOFF.

SPLICE MUST BE MADE WITHIN 6" OF CONNECTOR BACKSHELL (WITHIN CONNECTOR BACKSHELL IS
13 PREFERRED).

14 ARINC 429 OUTPUT PORT 3 MUST BE USED FOR CONTROLLING THE WEATHER RADAR.

THE ART 2100 IS SUPPORTED WHEN CONFIGURED TO EMULATE AN ART 2000. ONLY ART 2000
15 FUNCTIONS ARE AVAILABLE.
